    Slicer cells to have color dynamically based on another field

    Hi all, I am not an expert at excel.

    The following attached dashboard I prepared requires a change and I need some help.

    Sheet Working has the required columns used to create dashboard.

    On Dashboard sheet, slicer RULE_NUM requires 2 things:

    1 - Based on Priority field, the color should changed the cells of a RULE_NUM slicer by checking Priority column in Matrix sheet. Each value of rule numbers is unique in Matrix sheet with its description.

    A column PRIORITY from Working sheet is also added on the dashboard with its slicer .

    C - critical
    H - high
    M - medium
    L - low

    text of each cell RULE_NUM slicer should appear according to the following criteria.

    Red for critical
    Orange for High
    Amber for Medium
    Green for Low

    2 - Each listed rule within the slicer should appear with a comment having its description read from Matrix sheet, Description column.



    Please advise.

    Regards,

    Yasar

    Hi,

    If you are trying to format the slicers themselves using those rules, it is not possible.

    There is no conditional formatting enabled on slicers... any alternative to slicers to highlight the text?

    Can a slicer value be highlighted with a different color using another column value?

    No. They all have the same format within any slicer.

    Hi All, Thank you for your responses.

    I have not been able to attach files other than image file.

    Please advise further on the possibility to add commend to a slicer cell value programmatically.
